Definitions

  • the routing of the cables and wires must be well arranged in order to allow easy and quick installation, removal, and servicing of the electrical equipment. This calls for cable managing devices allowing large numbers of wires or cables to enter and/or exit at specific locations in a direct and manageable manner. Although a cable manager must be large enough to accommodate a high capacity of wires and cables, it also must be compact enough to avoid loose hanging or slack wiring. With the numerous possible configurations of the electrical equipment inside frames, racks or cabinets, the cable manager should incorporate versatile features to adapt to many configurations.
  • Some embodiments of the invention provide a vertical cable manager for routing cables or wires in a direct and manageable manner.
  • the vertical cable manager can include one or more sets of fingers that extend along the vertical length of the cable manager.
  • the fingers can include an arrow-shaped end. Cables and wires can be received between two adjacent fingers between two adjacent arrow-shaped ends.
  • Some embodiments of the vertical cable manager can also include spools that can be attached in various positions along the vertical length of the cable manager. A single spool can then be used to wrap excess cable. Two spools positioned horizontally adjacent to one another and connected by a crossbar can form a vertical raceway.
  • other embodiments of the vertical cable manager can include a door that can pivot between an open position, in which the ends of the fingers can be accessed, and a closed position, in which ends of the fingers can be substantially covered.
